These are some of the frequent questions I see asked on the internet. Can I simply go to a weigh station or public weighbridge?
In quick sure. The massive difference here is the greatest way by which the caravan weighing is completed.

Yes, you'll have the ability to drive onto a weighbridge first and weigh your automotive in your GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) than drive on with the caravan and get your GCM (Gross Combination Mass), then unhitch the caravan and drive your automotive off the weighbridge to get your caravan ATM (Aggerate Trailer Mass) then reverse back on to the weighbridge and re-hitch the caravan … so long as there may be not a few vans ready to get on the scales. And you should get your weights to an accuracy of 20kgs.

After all of that you just still won’t know your tow ball weight, axle weights or how the burden is distributed. You could buy tow ball scales but I even have seen large discrepancies with the results proven by these scales. They usually are not peak adjustable and this can affect the accuracy of the scales.

I had a buyer weigh his combination after being weighed by Weighpro (I was still there) utilizing tow ball scales and Reich scales he purchased and the result was some 300kg less than the precise weight (I’m not sure if he did something wrong or if the scales have been out of calibration).

There’s a giant distinction when you get weighed by Weighpro. For a start we come to your home (or appropriate location) we place scales under each wheel, weighing at every wheel and axle weights using the newest certified wi-fi weigh pads and indicator. This allows you to see how the load is distributed inside the caravan and automobile.

We also weigh the tow ball and the result is given in kilograms and as a share on the report (too gentle on the tow ball may find yourself in trailer sway) … we additionally weigh to an accuracy of 1kg. We full a much more detailed weigh providing GVM, TBM, GTM, ATM & GCM. Our program/app will then compare the precise weights with the manufacturers specs to ensure you are secure and authorized (All outcomes detailed in our straightforward to read and understand 3-page report including explanations on all these complicated acronyms).

We also encourage you to move things around inside the van if weigh distribution is not ideal, to see how one can improve your balance and tow ball weight of your caravan.

You can weigh with empty or full water tanks, add the bikes or kayaks whatever you want. You would possibly like to see the difference with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) linked then disconnected….no problems. We are also not going to hurry or pressure you, and can fortunately take the time to clarify something you are not positive of.

You will obtain your private 3-page report proper there on the spot (no ready for it to arrive via e mail for you to print it out yourself in a few days). We are nonetheless there to explain anything you are not positive of.

Knowing your weights isn't just a security problem but also a authorized issue… get it mistaken and it could value you in fines and demerit points, worst still you could be concerned in an accident after which find out that your insurance has being declined.

Don’t have a caravan but wish to weigh a boat trailer, weigh a trailer or weigh a horse float (with the horses on board) or simply car weighing no issues at all, you're going to get the identical level of service.

We pride ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.

Safe travels
